The bike ride from Bled to Vintgar Gorge sounds perfect. But I can't figure out--once there, what do people do with their bikes when they hike in? Thanks for your help!

Hi Tricia. Actually, the bike ride directly from Bled to Vintgar Gorge is fine, but nothing great. Some people do bike to the gorge entrance; we noticed a few locked bikes in the small parking lot at the entrance. Some other context / info:
- when you finish the hike of the actual gorge, you aren't near the entrance, you must take another fairly long hike (2 miles?) to get back to where you started, if you want to go there. For that, you hike uphill for the first mile or so thru the woods to a nice picnic spot with a food stand, then maybe another mile or so back to gorge entrance. Or you can just hike back into town, about the same distance.
- there is some great biking in the area, especially if you have e bikes. On our list to go back, get e bikes again and take a day long ride through the gorgeous hills and mountains. If it's a nice day, scenery is spectacular. Have a great trip!

Vintner gorge is one way.
We got day trip from Bled, which was van there and back with tickets to the gorge. The van picked us up in Bled, drove us there and later picked us up later after hiking out the far side of the gorge through the forest to the small town.
